parenting

Parenting is hard and there is no one size fits all approach. It can also be incredibly satisfying and joyful. Often it is a bit of a mixed bag. Every individual approaches parenting uniquely, drawing from their unique experiences, values, and communication styles. Different parenting styles are commonplace within partnerships, necessitating flexibility and mutual respect. Parenting often calls for a  trial-and-error approach. Embracing the inherent variability in parenting philosophies, Esther facilitates dialogue to promote common ground and helps parents look at their children's communication and what is most useful for the whole family. Rather than wonder WHY your child is engaging in a behavior you do not like, get to the bottom of how  it's a problem to begin with and work together as a couple to present a united front. Rejecting one-size-fits-all approaches, Esther empowers parents to focus on effective strategies, fostering a nurturing and supportive parenting environment. Leveraging her extensive experience, Esther provides specialized support and immediately applicable solutions to parents grappling with complex challenges, including medical diagnoses, behavioral issues, school refusal, substance use, sibling conflict, social problems, gifted kids,  and developmental disorders in their children.
